Horrible Histories - The Best of Barmy Britain Theatre breaks

We all want to meet people from history. The trouble is everyone is dead! So it’s time to prepare yourselves for a special production of Horrible Histories featuring your favourite characters from our barmy past to celebrate the 5th Anniversary of Barmy Britain in the West End! Could you beat battling Boudicca? Will King John be a martyr for the Magna Carta? Will you lose your heart or your head to Henry VIII? Can Parliament survive gunpowder Guy? Light up your life with the great fire of London! Stand and deliver to dastardly Dick Turpin! Escape the clutches of Burke and Hare and move to the groove with party Queen Victoria! It’s the history of Britain with the nasty bits left in!

Horrible Histories - The Best of Barmy Britain theatre breaks cover a huge variety of British history in a totally unique way. You will see the Romans taking part in Masterchef and discovering the culinary delights that were once served in front of a Romano-British centurion. You will also see Field Marshall Haig, a World War I general, facing the mighty finger of Lord Sugar (an actor, not the real one) as he fails this week’s task (we can see why you thought it was the real one). You are to expect comedy and history, in huge diversity and generous abundance.
